[Prenatal diagnosis and management of laparoschisis. Case report]

Abstract

The prenatal diagnosis of laparoschisis may be established by ultrasound early in the end of the first pregnancy trimester. The visualisation of the abdominal wall defect may predict a good fetal prognosis in the absence of the other anomalies and may establish the most favorable moment of birth. Identification of several risk factors for this malformation could lead to the decrease of its incidence.
